Chapter 1027 The Little Governor
Hongde ZTE...

His Majesty the Emperor stood beside the emperor's throne after listening to the officials shouting these four words, he was stunned for a moment, and did not move for a long time.

He is not an emperor who likes to listen to flattery, at least not at this age, but even so, these four words still make his spine feel numb, and his whole body is a little excited.

He sat back in his seat, and it took him a while to recover, to calm himself down.

After pausing for a while, the emperor said in a deep voice: "That's the end of today's discussion. All the ministers should go back to the yamen first. After returning to the yamen, all matters related to the Northern Expedition must be dealt with as soon as possible."

The emperor's voice was calm, but there was no doubt about it: "I have ordered the Huaihe Navy to go northward with 3 people to take the lead in forming the East Route Army. My West Route Army will also reach the north of the Huai River within a month and join the battlefield."

"also…"

The emperor looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and said, "As for Shen Yi's contribution, the Ministry of Officials will discuss it and report it to me, and send it to Xuzhou to Shen Yi together with the imperial decree to form the East Route Army."

At this time, the Northern Expedition had become a major trend, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials could only bow his head and accept this matter.

The emperor stood up, squinted his eyes and said, "That's all for today's discussion. Zhao Shangshu will stay here for a while, and the others should leave."

Following the emperor's order, the six ministries and officials dispersed one after another, leaving only Zhao Changping standing in front of the emperor in the hall.

The emperor looked at the chief steward of the imperial court for more than ten years in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Changping has not only worked hard in the imperial court these years, but also produced many talents under his sect. I saw that Zhang Jian was mentioned many times in the report submitted by Shen Qi. Together with Zhao Jizhou, they have done a lot for the Huai'an Army."

Zhao Shangshu bowed his head slightly, with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty is absurd, the minister is an official of the imperial court, and it is only natural to do something for the imperial court. As for the dog..."

Zhao Shangshu paused, and said: "He used to be idle in Jiankang and didn't do anything. This time, Shen Shilang probably took care of him..."

The emperor shook his head and said with a smile: "Shen Yi said in the letter that the money, food and people's livelihood in Xuzhou City are now managed by the second son of the Changping family.

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Shangshu was also slightly taken aback, somewhat touched in his heart.

However, he quickly came back to his senses, and said, "Your Majesty is here to ask about the supply of food and grass. According to His Majesty's instructions, the minister has already stockpiled a lot of food in Huai'an. The military rations for the front line come directly from Huai'an." Just supply."

The emperor shook his head: "Master Changping naturally doesn't need me to worry about money and food. What I want to talk about is Ganquan Academy."

He wrote his chin silently, and said: "Ganquan Academy has indeed cultivated many talents for the court over the years. I am very happy. If I remember correctly, the head of Ganquan Academy is brother Shen Yi's teacher, right?"

Zhao Changping bowed his head and said, "Yes, Lu Zhizhong, the head of Ganquan Academy, was my classmate in the academy and my best friend. .”

"He is not only the teacher of Brother Shen Ziheng, but also Shen Ziheng's father-in-law."

The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know if this Mr. Lu has any thoughts of re-entering the court as an official?"

Zhao Shangshu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I...don't know."

The emperor said: "Then please entrust Lord Changping to write a letter to Mr. Lu and tell him that if he is willing to serve as an official again, he can come to Jiankang immediately and serve as the son of the state to offer wine."

Da Chen's son of the state offering wine is from a fourth-rank official position. Although the rank is not particularly high, the status is not low, and it can be regarded as a noble official position.

Zhao Shangshu bowed his head respectfully.

"Old minister...obey the order."

His Majesty the Emperor patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Ganquan Academy has been really outstanding in the past few years. If Mr. Lu is not willing to become an official, I will not force him. He can come to Jiankang and do it in Jiankang too." A library."

"By the time…"

The emperor said with a smile: "My princes, you may not be able to study in Ganquan Academy."

Zhao Changping bowed his head again.

"Immediately write a letter to Brother Lu Xian after I go back..."

………………

Because of the emperor's will, the efficiency of the imperial court became surprisingly high. Two days later, the imperial court's edict to Shen Yi had completed the process, and the emperor sent Sun Jin, an eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to Xuzhou to proclaim the imperial edict in person.

Because now, Shen Yi is still in control of the initiative in the Xuzhou area, so the road from Jiankang to Xuzhou has basically been opened up, and there is no danger.

Accompanied by a group of internal guards, Eunuch Sun rode all the way to Xuzhou, and arrived at Xuzhou city in the morning three days later.

After arriving in Xuzhou City, Eunuch Sun knew that Shen Yi was not in the city, but in the Huai'an army camp in the east of the city, where he was commanding the battle.

Eunuch Sun had no choice but to leave Xuzhou City and take the imperial decree to the army.

The news of Eunuch Sun's arrival in Xuzhou quickly reached Shen Yi's ears. Master Shen didn't dare to neglect, and since the fighting was not intense now, he took Su Ding and others to meet Eunuch Sun at the gate of Daying.

Seeing Eunuch Sun in purple clothes approaching from a distance, Master Shen stepped forward and bowed to this old acquaintance: "I have seen the angel."

Eunuch Sun turned sideways hurriedly, waved his hands and said: "Shen Shilang must not do this, it can shorten the lifespan of slaves."

Master Shen straightened his waist and said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun is an imperial envoy of the imperial court, so it is only natural for Mr. Shen to pay his respects."

Sun Jin shook his head and said: "Shen Shilang has made outstanding achievements now, let alone a handicapped servant, even the Prime Minister of Zhongshu may not be worthy of your worship."

Shen Yi couldn't help laughing: "Eunuch Sun, don't talk nonsense, which Zhongshu prime minister can't be worshiped by me?"

Eunuch Sun was ushered into the commander's tent all the way, and he was not in a hurry to announce the decree, but asked: "Shen Shilang, Your Majesty asked the servants to ask, how is the battle in Xuzhou now?"

Master Shen immediately became serious, and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the Qi army near Xuzhou is basically avoiding the battle now. Among them, the [-] Qi army in Suqian has been surrounded by my army. It is only time to eat them." question."

"Right now, our East Route Army of the Huai'an Army is confronting the main force of the Northern Qi Conquest to the South to prevent them from going to rescue Suqian. In the past six or seven days, we have fought several times."

After a pause, Shen Yi added: "The two sides fought in the field outside the city, and each suffered casualties. Generally speaking, the Huai'an Army suffered a little bit."

"However, there are still [-] imperial troops under the city of Haizhou in the east, and the Northern Qi Conscript Army did not dare to move rashly. It finally held back the main force of the Qi army, and there will be at most ten days..."

"The battle of encirclement and annihilation in Suqian is over, and the situation near Xuzhou will be settled."

"At that time, the officials of the imperial court will be able to enter Xuzhou."

After hearing these words, Sun Jin memorized them silently, then he stood up slowly, and took out two imperial decrees from the wooden box held by the little eunuch beside him.

"Shen Yi, Minister of the Ministry of War, accept the order."

Shen Yi got up, took Su Ding and other generals of the East Route Army, and knelt down to welcome the imperial edict.

Eunuch Sun didn't talk nonsense. After coughing, he began to read out the first imperial edict.

"The system said."

"The Hu thief steals the cauldron, causing chaos in the scorching summer."

"The divine weapon is lost, and there are more than sixty years..."

After a long parallel prose, Sun Jin finally read the main text: "Today, I am obeying the destiny of heaven, and I am determined to make a northern expedition, so as to show God's will and comfort my ancestors."

"Order Shen Yi, the servant of the Ministry of War, to lead the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Route Army, and go north to destroy the thieves."

After reading this, the first imperial decree is finished.

After Sun Jin handed this edict to Shen Yi, he took out the second edict, cleared his throat, and read.

"Shen Yi, the servant of the Ministry of War, has made great contributions to the restoration of the country, and it is very comforting to my heart."

"As soon as you write it, you will be granted the title of Uncle Jiang Du."

"Still leading the military minister..."

Speaking of this, Sun Jin couldn't help but look up, looked at Shen Yi who was kneeling in front of him, paused, and then continued to read.

"As well as the right deputy of Yushitai, the capital censor."

"He is in charge of the military forces of the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Route Army."

After reading this, the imperial decree is finally finished.

Sun Jin bent down, handed the imperial decree to Shen Yi, and sincerely praised: "Congratulations, Uncle."

"After Da Chen went to the south, the uncle is still the first uncle in the imperial court who can be passed on."

"Your Majesty has sent people to Jiangdu to build the Jiangdu House for the uncle."

Master Shen held two imperial decrees in his hands, but he still hasn't come to his senses.

What surprised him was not Uncle Jiang, nor the position of the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition Army.

Because of these, he had discussed with the emperor in advance.

What really surprised him was the position of Yushi, the right deputy capital of Yushitai.

This position, divided into left and right, is the deputy of Yushi Taidu Yushi, and was called Yushi Zhongcheng in the previous dynasty.

The dispatched governor is usually assigned this position, which means to supervise the place on behalf of Yushitai.

Therefore, the governor of a province is often honored as Zhongcheng.

In fact, the governor is not a position, but a duty, and the right deputy capital censor is the position.

Generally, if there is a rebellion in the local area or there is a need to suppress bandits, the governor will go out of Beijing with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Shen Yi has already hung up the Minister of the Ministry of War...

In the history of Da Chen, almost no one held these two positions at the same time, holding these two positions, that is to say, Shen Yi can supervise the military and government at the same time!

This is not the governor.

But the governor!

However, a serious governor should have the title of minister of the Ministry of War, and also the censor of the right capital of the censor, which is a level higher than Shen Yi's current one.

In other words, Master Shen is now a minor governor.

Thinking of this, Master Shen looked to the south and murmured in his heart.

I don't know how the emperor got the position of right deputy capital censor for himself.

I'm afraid we'll have to quarrel for many days...?
After being in a daze for a while, Shen Yi came back to his senses, raised his head and smiled at Sun Jin: "Elder-in-law has worked hard all the way."

"Let's go back to Xuzhou, I'll treat my father-in-law to drink."

Sun Jin lowered his head slightly: "Don't dare to disturb Uncle's march."

"It's okay, General Su and the others are here."

Master Shen pulled Sun Jin's sleeve and said with a smile.

"I'm here, not very useful."

"Let's go back to town."

Eunuch Sun still insisted on being half a body behind Shen Yi, and followed behind Shen Yi, with his head slightly lowered, with a respectful expression.

"The slaves would be more respectful than obedient."
